How to wrap text around inside the circle in Inkscape?
The question “How can I wrap text around inside the circle?” seems to be frequent on #inkscape. I did this little visual tutorial how you can get this working in Inkscape 0.41 and higher(or any tool with Text to path capability). Enjoy

How can I wrap text the way you have shown using Powerpoint of Office Draw or Word? Is it possible by Auto CAD?
Thanks

Jaffar: iirc then MS Word/Powerpoint has a part called “Wordart” which could be able to put a text on path OR deform shape of text to look like on an arc of circle. With this kind of deformation you would be able to deform both parts of text to look like on the image on the link above.
I am not sure if it is possible in AutoCAD, I do not know it so well to be able to tell you.
If you just need the image for Word/PPT then you can try Inkscape(it is free as in speech and you can download from www.inkscape.org), “deform” text in it, export to .png and open the image in word/powerpoint.

Excellent set of instruction there, thanks
) One question though, I can’t figure out how to put the text on the inside of the circle, as in your first step.

Sorry, forgot to say I’m also having problems creating the second part of the text to line the bottom half of the logo. The text has to line the inside of the circle, upside down, or something like that…

Hi Dany, in the first step, I’ve created the text on the upper side of the circle and then scaled it down(the text I mean) to fit in the circle. Or just make smaller circle and put the text on it.
The second part: you have to create second circle, smaller then the first one, and use Path - Difference with the new and original paths. This will create a ring . If you put a new text on this ring, it will now be inside the ring
hope that helped
